Synopsis

Alyshia D'Cruz, daughter of Indian tycoon Frank D'Cruz, has grown up in London and Mumbai wanting for nothing. But one night, after a boozy evening out, she gets in the wrong cab home. Charles Boxer, ex-army, ex-police, has found his niche in private security. His specialty: kidnap and recovery. When D'Cruz hires Boxer to find Alyshia, Boxer knows Frank's crooked business empire has made him plenty of enemies. MI6 officers in India follow Boxer's leads and soon it seems more lives than Alyshia's are at stake, as the trail crosses paths with a terrorist plot on British soil. To save Alyshia, Boxer must dodge religious fanatics, Indian mobsters, and London's homegrown crime lords.

About this title

Review:

Like most of Wilson's novels, this one occupies the shadow territory between the crime novel and the intelligent thriller... it's dark and powerful stuff. And the ending has a kick like a horse. (SPECTATOR)

Fast-moving and breathlessly exciting, this is the first of a series to feature Charles Boxer from award-winning author Robert Wilson. (IRISH INDEPENDENT)

Gripping from start to finish, this intricately plotted page-turner will keep you transfixed. (CHOICE)

Absolutely brilliant. (PETERBOROUGH EVENING TELEGRAPH)

Full of action and tension, a guaranteed great read from this CWA Gold Dagger winning author. (LOVEREADING.COM)

Wilson blends psychological intensity, constant action with a brilliantly intricate plot that will leave you gasping after the final page. (BITE THE BOOK)

[Robert Wilson's] hotter than ever... One killer of a crime caper. (NORTHERN ECHO)

If you like dense, complex and internationally widespread thrillers, then Capital
Punishment is for you... Unputdownable.

(MYSTERY WOMEN)

Featuring a large cast of well-sketched players and a plethora of plot twists, CAPITAL PUNISHMENT shifts scenes briskly from London to Lisbon, Mumbai to Lahore. Mr. Wilson writes with elegant vigor as he describes the shoot-outs and emotional crescendos that result from the political and criminal intrigue at the heart of the book. (WALL STREET JOURNAL)

A genuine thriller and the first in a new series, CAPITAL PUNISHMENT is one of the best books in the genre to come along at the start of a new year... A brilliant beginning for what is sure to be a very exciting and worthwhile series indeed. (REVIEWINGTHEEVIDENCE.COM)
